ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of GEOGRAPHY at West Bengal State University
Professional geomorphologist Dr. Subhamita Chaudhuri has made a career studying coastal geomorphology and environmental management in coastal areas. She has also conducted research on sea level rise, low-lying wetlands, and coastal ecology and sedimentology.
I find Dr. Chaudahuri's research especially interesting given the inevitable ongoing increases in sea-level rise due to climate change. Both geological and ecological shifts in low-lying areas will become increasingly important to understand for urban and conservation planning as time goes on, and her papers on coastal wetland dynamics are a critical part of that understanding.

The Role of Mangroves in Coastal and Estuarine Sedimentary Accretion in Southeast Asia
The Role of Mangroves in Coastal and Estuarine Sedimentary Accretion in Southeast Asia
By Punarbasu Chaudhuri, Subhamita Chaudhuri and Raktima Ghosh
This paper covers how mangroves help maintain sediment retention in dynamic hydrological conditions, especially sea level rise. Case studies took place in Malaysia and Thailand Human activity, time-induced soil compaction, and different mangrove plant species affect levels of sediment trapping.
Evaluation of Hydraulic Stability of Tidal Inlet: A Case Study of the Shrivardhan Inlet-Bay System
Evaluation of Hydraulic Stability of Tidal Inlet: A Case Study of the Shrivardhan Inlet-Bay System
By Subhamita Chaudhari
Researchers studied Shrivardhan, a inlet-bay system, from 1965-2000. The bay has moved away from equilibrium conditions, contrary to researcher hypotheses, as the inlet throat constricted rather than expanded.
